nice work man. i think that its got a really good start, and with a bit of polish, it could be pretty slick. i like the fact that its got all original elements from you instead of ripped art and music. i didn't make it to the boss because it was pretty hard even on beginner, and after a couple minutes, it was pretty repetitive. It looks like you've got a decent way to do dialogs and things, which is awesome. keep it up!

Well done. My left hand hurts from shooting ... always a sign of quality for a shooter. ;)

There is a difficulty setting in the options menu in version 1pre1, so if one feels that the game is too difficult, the difficulty can be adjusted. However, this difficulty setting just modifies Miyu's max hp and the rate at which hp and power is regained.

As for the cannot shoot while moving diagonally error, I have not encountered this, but I suspect it is an issue with the KEYDOWN events not making it to the program.

Very nice bullet hell!

I see you haven't solved that problem of not being able to shoot whilst going diagonally up and to the left, or down and to the right. I still haven't been able to fix that in my own shmup.

I also like how the little grim reaper bullets go in a random direction, instead of just straight up.

I will be looking forward to future releases! :)

A classic PyGame. Well done!

I did find the boss rather too difficult. So, I tripled the protagonist's rate of fire, and quintupled her power. The result: http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/907/image1dy.png I found this much easier. I'm also impressed the game maintained a decent framerate despite the extra work.
